- In case you're wondering who that bearded dude who made this video is:
/ wheezywaiter
In which Craig teaches you everything you need to know about being John Green.
John-from-the-past continues to star in videos on the following channels:
/ crashcourse
/ mentalflossvideo
/ hankgames
I am sorry but can we just spend a moment to applaud how accurately he depicted John? Like what the actual fudgeballs... To a tee.
I was kinda freaked out a couple times actually. Especially the Thoughts from Places bit. DAMN.
I am new to this channel can someone tell me what DFTBA is?
Saransh Gautam “Don’t Forget To Be Awesome”... the Nerdfighter slogan... 😉
@@ArmchairDeity Thanks for initiating me
Saransh Gautam no worries! I just remembered to be be awesome. 😉
I am forever thankful for this video because this video is what brought me to WheezyWaiter.
Became a Beardlover myself, seeing this. Although I admit Chyna served as a good lure to my primitive brain, ultimately I subscribed for the wit. No wonder she said yes when he Ww deployed his overly complicated proposal.
+iChellezm agreed
Don't you mean you're forever hankful? 😏
Same!
I am new to this channel can someone tell me what DFTBA is?
I think Michael from vsauce is a smart clone, but he realized how smart he was so he left Chicago to go to Britain and start a TH-cam channel
Vsause is the clone that did all his homework for him in high school and college.
Oh my god....
He also went to Britain to avoid the Alligator Pit.

I love this.
Yes. She also has a tattoo of a John Green quote, specifically: "It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world that they don’t care if that mark is a scar."
Is there a source for this? The internet says it came from John but I can't find the actual source. Is it like the "places I've never been to and people I've never met" quote?
@@lifegeek5742 Wow, blast from the past! Not really sure to be honest mate, time has faded the memory. I can't even find the evidence that Chyna has that exact tattoo, though she definitely has the DFTBA tattoo (you see it at the end of this video). Funnily enough, I referenced the quote in a folk song I wrote a couple of years after. You'd think I would have done some proper research, but alas... here's the final verse with the reference:
"We scar ourselves, we scar each other every day
We rip and tear and break and burn and bind
And to annihilate the roots of guilt away
We bleach the dirt left on our barren minds
But the roots remain, holding a truth that they proclaim
To every broken soul both near and far:
Some people are so desperate to leave their mark on the world
That they don't mind if that mark is a scar."
@@lifegeek5742 If you search Hank's twitter, he tweeted the quote in 2011, and then I think John quoted Hank somewhere, but I have no source for that. Also, Hank's tweet was in quotes, so maybe he was quoting someone else? I'm not sure.
Anyone else just got recommended this 6 years later?
yes. ive seen this one before but still.
Me too
this was recommended next to todays wheezy monday for me so i decided a rewatch was in order
I burst out laughing when he did the Thoughts from places part! "One can even discover infinity in this locale, no longer is the separation but connection...to everything." Perfect impression of John rounding off his TFP!
That though from places was actually deep and thoughtful
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought this was a collab with Vsauce in which Michael was going to explain, as scientifically as possible, how one can be John.
ahhh...lol.. sounds very legit
+JDCraftedGaming Now I want that video to happen.
Chyna has a DFTBA tat? That's awesome! She did not forget.
Her tattoo was in a vlogbrothers video about the Beckoning of Lovely, which is actually where her and Craig met, I think!
Cool! Do you have a link by chance?
Gwendolyn Hammer I tried to look for it, but I can't seem to find it. It may have actually been one of Craig's videos, but I can't find it there either. I just remember there being a picture of her tattoo in a video of the Beckoning of Lovely, and I think it was the 10/10/10 one.
Gwendolyn H ++++++ +++++ +++++ +++++ +++ +++++++ ++++ +++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Still one of my favorite videos of all time for how well wheezywaiter parodies John.
Thoughts from Places is so accurate!

"I'm hanking. Hank you very much", gotta be my favorite joke!
The thoughts from places segment was hilarious! Absolutely perfect
This video led to me discovering WheezyWaiter, and my life was changed forever :')
Oh man, that parody of thoughts from places was flippin' brilliant!
“John... helped.” I died
hank you very much. loved this
This John green impression was so good that I wasn't watching the video and didn't even notice
Waiting impatiently for the "How to be Hank Green" video....
Jim B the long awaited video has arrived at last! :D
+simplename000
@ simplename000
I can’t find it
I'm pretty sure this was the first vlogbrothers video that I watched. Makes so much more sense now!
Same here! I was a beardlover though, so it made some sense.
Wheezy is the best! Craig - you did a fantastic job filling in for John this week, and I'm so glad you got to do this. One of my favorites! So many great ideas, bits and clones went into the making of this video. Awesome!
OMG is Chynas tattoo real??
No one replied to ur comment so here I am. And idk if its real or not
I literally was just wondering the same thing
I can confirm it is 100% a legitimate tattoo lol
@@calmcmullan3370 really? How?
@@VictoriaMeira7 she went to a nerd fighters event before she knew Craig where she showed John it and he was like are you serious and she said yes
THIS IS BRILLIANT!
It's nice that John and Hank allows other youtubers to be discovered through creative substitutions like this. Craig is hilarious, I'm about to watch his every videos.
"How awesome he didn't forget to be."
'Hank You Very Much'
I subscribed to Craig's channel because of this video. He has top notch videos over there that are hilarious! Thank you for introducing his work to me!
make a channel called 'wheezysauce' about the science of punching out eagles.
dftba.
Greatest Idea Ever

How to be John Green: try to be Ze Frank.

WheezyWaiter on vlogbrothers?
Match made in heaven!
Thank you to both of you, two of my favorite TH-camrs who have helped inspire me to start pursuing my ambition to vlog, and I'm having a great time with it.
Thanks again guys, and the tattoo is brilliant!
Vsauce is maybe one of his escaped clones...dun dun ddduuuunnnnn
Love the "discovered infinity" within your office space. Just remember, some infinities are smaller than others... DFTBA
Stop this is scarily accurate
*comment saying how he looks like Vsauce*
Lol He is not Vsauce he looks like Michael LOLLL
The Thoughts From Places was spot-on, anyone else get chills?
The Thoughts From Places segment was so effing perfect, and the hanking was spectacular. Bravo Craig, you make a good John
This guys is hilarious! And honest, which I love. And yes I'm glad I'm not crazy for thinking he looks a lot like vsauce! Thank you blog brothers for introducing me to this guy and in tern Vsauce, two really awesome TH-camr channel's.
Right, time to go and laugh with Weezy (not sure if there's a H after the W ) and later learn with Vsauce. :) DFTBA!
Vsauce is actually Craig WheezyWaiter's Cool Knowledge Clone. He wears glasses because only nerds know Cool Knowledge and all nerds wear glasses. :P
PowerMindAlchemist NO Way! Lol I know your'e joking ...right?
***** ... Depends on what you're asking about.
If it's about all nerds wearing glasses, yes.
If it's about Vsauce Michael being Craig's Cool Knowledge Clone, not at all. I am dead serious about that. But Craig doesn't want us to know about that because it would interfere with his conspiracy to slowly take over the world through the prevalence and influence held by him and his clone minions.
The Vlogbrothers will have to face him eventually. In one final battle between Good and Evil, the fate of the entire world will be decided.
PowerMindAlchemist bahahah you're hilarious! X
Well, thank you very much. ^_^
... But this is a serious matter. The entire world is in danger and the Brothers of Awesome will have to step up to the challenge... sooner than we may think.
This was the first Wheezywaiter video I watched. From that day on, I became a Beardlover
+William Stockhecker the first video that I have seen Wheezywaiter in *raised eyebrow* does that make it better Stockhecker?
***** yayyyyyyyy (banjo face)
Me too
I am not sure I can express how good this video was. I think it was both my Vlogbrothers and Wheezywaiter favorite video, and that means A LOT!
I mean, craig, you almost better than John at being John! You even done perfectly the Thoughts From Places part!
i die when he said he "look(s) like vsauce"
I laugh way too hard every time I watch this omg
Not sure why this was recommended 7 years later, but omg, this was when Alice was born!
John... helped
I love reading all the comments of nerdfighters meeting Wheezy for the first time: it's like introducing a friend to a different group of friends :D this makes me happy
Although I really miss John I'm glad I got to meet these new people. I subscribed to Craig's channel after I saw him here and I regret nothing.
**Comment commenting about the comments of the comment trend in the comment section**
Watch as the clone in the background was actually Vsauce
Haha not
***** Smart clone.
VSauce is the Boba Fett to Wheezy's Jango.
Don't know why this 8 year old video popped up on my feed but I am glad it did. Awesome job!
Yes I'm still watching this in 2016. What's your point?
You're here just to compare his impersonation of Hank with this. And I'm reflecting myself in you.
I'm doing the same thing! Hes so spot-on with both of them!
Hello from 2017. 👋
Hello from 2018, almost
Hello, from 2019. Almost
This video introduced me to Wheezy, and now he's one of my favorite TH-camrs! Such nostalgia
Same here. :)
Two of my favourite channels just collided!! Too much awesomeness!
Awesome! My favourite fill in. He did a good job and I'll Def subscribe. :)
This was surprisingly hilarious god... Good job vsauce! :)
This is now one of my favorite thoughts from places videos.
Craig's girlfriend is pretty cool. At least I assume that's his girlfriend at the end of the video.
That or some random painted lady
***** ***** it is his girlfriend
samramdebest
Lucky guy.
*psst* now it's his fiancee
+Denveridicule pssst I like its tattoo
Does Craig only have half a million subscribers because people mistake him for Michael and accidentally subscribe to Vsauce?
Craig deserves as much subscribers as Vsauce.
People should be mistaking Michael for Craig instead
This is probably the best standing-in-for-John video. Craig, you're awesome!
wheezy and vsauce should do a co-shoot
I love that Chyna has a DFTBA tattoo
I thought I'd miss John more but you were a perfect replacement... I do miss him but I loved this, especially the nerdfighter clone part and thoughts from places
It's surprising how you guys are all friends with rob scallon
The first thing I thought when I saw this video was "Vsauce?"
OH my gosh this makes me want to go back to watch Wheezy again, I didnʻt stop for a particular reason its just I had to put youtube aside for a bit, now I am going back to watching my faves.
This is a great video. It would have been awesome to get smaller you tubers in instead to find new content. All the replacements I already subscribe to.
wheezy!
That was brilliant! exceeded my expectations! You most definitely did the vlog brothers proud :)
He does look exactly like vsauce
This was absolutely hilarious! Maybe I'm just a huge dork.
The Nerd Fighters community is so refreshing. They(we) are always so kind. If any other TH-cam channel temporally replaced one of their host, they would totally bash them, regardless of how well they did. BTW, good job Wheezy Waiter.
"That is exactly what I did in college"
Lol I'm watching this in 2017
guess who got a new sub
Is it me? Its not me, is it?
+The Optimist Vibe Is it me...?
This guy is awesome, I feel like this new deal is going to help me branch out and enjoy other awesome channels.
WHOOOOA HE LOOKS JUST LIKE VSAUUUUCE WITH GLASSES BROOOO TRIPPPPYYYYYYY
Vsauce is science clone.
GET BACK TO WORK, CLONE
Hank you very much for this video.
*extremely delayed comment related to how confused one is about the necessity of this comment chain*
This is the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life! Or I am reaaaaaally high.
David Juarez Why not both? :)
I've been subscribed to Weezy for a while now and was so glad to hear he was going to a video for vlogbrothers! Great job :D
OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS
"hank you very much" hahahah!
Craig, you definitely did not forget to be awesome! Excellent video! You captured the essence of John perfectly.
Wait he's not Vsauce?
Daaaamn Chyna's (sp?) tat
Correct spelling (y)
Thank you sir
god i love this video so much
That was hilarious.
How did you get such a hot girlfriend?!
being funny and not a jackass. i love Craig.
I love that this was the first vid I saw of WheezyWaiter, because whenever I scroll through my youtube suggestions, he pops up, and I ALWAYS get confused thinking it's Vsauce... Not Vsauce. Equally as awesome.
I wonder how that tattoo is faring these days.
I'm balding. It's sad. 😂
I was having doubts at first but you did an AMAZING job! You have done nerdfighteria proud (in my opinion)
Whats up with Vsauce ?
and what does DFTBA mean ?
Dont Forget To Be Awesume?
Do Feel The Bald Ape?
Difficult Friends To Be Announced?
and also why is it tattooed (or drawn cant decide) on a hot girls side torso?
Im so confused right now ...
also is it too early to say Alice is going to be soo hot .... (in 18 years or so)
John Fisher Not really. I mean. being hot is kind of...depends on who is watching the person.
It's been 5 years that I've been watching WheezyWaiter and it's thanks to this video.
Oh my gods John Green I love your book so much love it is really good and I haven't even got halfway through. I can't wait to get further!! So much love for it. Morgane x
I love John SOOOO MUCH. Like, seriously.
It hurts how meta that was. Keep up the good work!
You are awesome. Please continue contributing to the Vlogbro's!!
This is my first ever video I saw by Wheezy...from here on I was addicted
this was so amazing i had to come back and watch it again
Thank you for catching the spirit of John Green and of our community. :)
Chyna I had no idea you had a dftba tattoo... I need to learn these things. Thanks for being a John, Craig!
